From the guide

On this exclusive private excursion you will get to know the different faces and landscape types of Gran Canaria in a short time. Gran Canaria is not called a miniature continent for nothing. It goes from the desert, the dunes in the south over the dry canyons through picturesque villages up to the center with fragrant pine forests. On the north side, the green and vegetated part of the island awaits us with chestnut groves, remains of the laurel forest and an interesting cultural landscape.
Also the culinary should not be neglected, we enjoy typical specialties of the Canarian cuisine at lunchtime.

Pass by
Tejeda Stop 5
Next up is the beautiful town of Tejeda, in the center of Gran Canaria. Some time ago it was voted one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. In addition, Tejeda is known for its almond specialties, which we are happy to try. Every year, at the beginning of February, the Almond Blossom Festival also takes place there.

, past the old crossroads and on to the green north side of Gran Canaria.
Pass by
Teror Stop 7
The landscape and especially the vegetation changes completely. From the rather dry center and south of the island we come down through fragrant pine forests through chestnut groves and the last remnants of the laurel forests of Gran Canaria. The destination is the pilgrimage site of Teror, known for its pedestrian streets with many wooden balconies and the imposing church. We enjoy the time in town and stroll through the old streets around the church square.
